Stockholm

The market

Stockholm's market on Stortorget is small, old and atmospheric: red stalls on a cobbled square in Gamla Stan, surrounded by the ochre and rust houses of the old town. Skansen on Djurgården runs a weekend market with crafts and Christmas as it looked a century ago. The walk between the two takes in the waterfront and the Royal Palace.

Also in Stockholm

• Skansen Julmarknad, Fridays to Sundays 27 Nov to 20 Dec 2026
• Rosendals Trädgård on Djurgården

What to eat and drink

• Glögg with almonds and raisins
• Lussekatter, saffron buns, and pepparkakor
• Smoked reindeer and elk sausage

The local specialty: Polkagris candy and knäck toffee, and the Julbord tradition.

The walk

One hour with your host and a small tasting of the local specialty, from EUR 69 per person. Company evenings run two hours with tastings and a table to finish. How the hour works

Your host meets you on Stortorget, walks you through the market and the lanes of Gamla Stan, with glögg and a lussekatt on the way, past the Royal Palace and along the water, and tells you how a Swedish Christmas works, from Lucia to the Julbord.

• Stortorget market and the lanes of Gamla Stan
• Glögg, saffron buns and the Lucia tradition
• The Royal Palace and the waterfront at dusk
• Skansen's weekend market as an extension for families

Your host is a Stockholm local from the LocalBini network who knows Gamla Stan, the market on Stortorget and how a Swedish Christmas works.
